If a song sells 999k, it doesn't get a platinum certfication unless it passes the 1M mark, or gets boosted by YouTube stream to the platinum milestone. There are many Taylor album tracks that have sold a lot and don't have videos, and thus are a part of her Soundscan total, but not RIAA certifications. Their sales are too low to be certified, but when you add them all together, they make a difference in her SS total
